Purpose This paper aims to provide a scholarly account of the 11th International Conference on Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for Intelligent Systems (ICTIS, 2026), held in Bangkok, Thailand, from 9 to 11 April 2026, and to situate its intellectual contributions within the evolving landscape of ICT and intelligent systems research. Design/methodology/approach The report draws on direct observation of conference proceedings, analysis of the official programme and keynote sessions, examination of the nine thematic tracks and a review of cumulative participation data recorded across eight preceding editions of the ICTIS series (2017–2025). Findings ICTIS (2026) convened a geographically diverse research community, with 2,850 cumulative papers contributed from 24 countries between 2017 and 2025, led by Germany, Japan and Kazakhstan. The hybrid delivery model broadened international accessibility, while the technical programme revealed the pervasiveness of deep learning across all tracks, alongside growing concern for interpretability, energy-efficient computing and the responsible deployment of AI in health informatics and safety-critical domains. Accepted papers are published in Springer Nature’s Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems series, indexed by Scopus. Originality/value The paper offers library and information science professionals, ICT researchers and academic administrators a timely insider perspective on a well-established international forum, documenting its thematic priorities, publication pathways and networking structures and identifying emerging research trajectories of relevance to scholarly communication and technology-enabled services.
